When I click the website www.lfg.com open, I am attracted by some words on a picture: IF YOUR FUTURESELF COULD TALK TO YOU, WHAT WOULD IT SAY? Well, this is a really interesting question, so I click the picture to see what is in it. A notebook appears in front of my eyes. After reading, I summarize it into one word: Challenges. My future self tells me that there are many challenges along the way and I should be prepared for them. There are 5 big challenges all in all, which cover a wide range of life. So what should one do to confront them? You can find answers on www.lfg.com easily.

In fact, the letters “lfg” stand for Lincoln Financial Group (LFG), the marketing name for Lincoln National Corporation (LNC), which is a holding company operating multiple insurance and investment. LFG is also subsidiary companies of LNC. So on the website www.lfg.com, you can find all the related insurance and investment information. Now let’s see what it contains.

Except for the “picture of future”, there are some other contents on the homepage, such as the information for professionals as well as for employers. You can also find the related and detailed information in other categories on the navigation bar. On the right side of the homepage, there are a search blank, some quick links, and a market watch. For people who have trades in stock market, the market watch is really useful.

There are altogether 7 major categories on the navigation bar besides the “Home”. If you have registered in LFG, you can view your account details in “My Accounts”. Do you want to know more about LFG, such as its history, its investor relations, and its elements of strength? Click “About Lincoln” and you can find what you are interested in. The next category “Financial Products” is subdivided into 2 parts: for individuals and for businesses, so no matter you are looking for information for yourself or for your company, your questions are answered here. Then there comes the “Research & Analysis”; you can find articles and surveys of the first-hand information concerning the current retirement, and you can also download the PDF to save it in your computer. The next one is “Planning Tools”, and I think it is very useful to help you have a better understanding as well as a better management of your income. It also contains tools such as financial calculators. Do you know how an event can alter your financial perspective? If not, you should read the next category carefully, “Life Transitions”. No matter you are going to get married, or have a baby, or sell a house, you can see how it changes your future financial condition. I bear in mind that plan for change is very significant in one’s life. The last category is about some retirement stories.

Along with the 7 major categories, there are 4 smaller buttons on the navigation bar. Contents of these 4 links are not about the financial management, but I do think they are also important. The first one is the “Account Services”. You can learn how to read your quarterly statement, what you should do if your personal information changes; you can also get your bill on line instead of get a paper copy. It is convenient. The next link is “Forms”. Of course, that means you can download the related forms on line. The third link shows the attentiveness of the website. It is “Glossary”. Not all people here are very clear about the financial terms mentioned here. So to help them better understand the terms, the website calls in a great “assistant” for them, the “Glossary”. Every proper term has an interpretation here and people will not misunderstand any one of them. The last link is “Contact Us”, and they have a time zone conversation for users to decide what time is available for conversation. This is very considerate.
